I would add what I think I am to Styles:

6. The Perfectionist

. Solves the problems every different way they can think of looking for the perfect abstraction

. Obsesses over finding the correct name for things. The right name will make the thing better

. Moves code around until it finds a home. Where the code lives is important

. Shares work only when beautiful

Is it because international registrations were down. I know that I am dodging US travel ATM

They charged me $60 to stop paying them money.

In my area there are lots of wine growers who are adding bubbles and canning their wine. It is way better, sweeter, still tastes like wine.

It is the art the stories and the videos that we have made forever that is being replaced as well. Why? Because the people in charge can save money, not for some altruistic idea f making humans more productive

Very little "AI discovered cure for cancer" articles these days, more "10,000 workers let go, to be replaced with chat bots"

If you think humans are a net positive to be around, you wouldn't be spending trillions trying to build a machine to replace them; not just their work, but all aspects of their lives.

In NZ there are BYDs everywhere. Why are they not in US yet?

The problem is the H1B visa is a lottery not a points based system. As someone who applied for an H1B 5 times and never got it, despite being highly skilled and having a PhD and a well paying job. The only way in was on an intern visa or an Einstein visa. Insane system

Looked after my son who has T1D for now 5 years, checked keytones maybe 20 times. Compared to blood glucose which we check look at every 5 minutes.

Maybe this is more for Type 2 or other diabetes, or for people prone to DKA. Or it is for people with a working pancreas who think looking at their blood sugars (and now keytones) tells them something like soothsayers reading tea leaves

So you won't support the creator, but support a person who summarizes the creator. You could have just pasted the link into Claude and asked for a summary of the blog post.

In New Zealand we have private insurance and universal health care. Insurance kind of fills the gaps and usually has faster turn around time, like 1-day vs 1-month for an MRI. But like insulin is free for everyone, so nobody is going broke while dying here rationing it.

At least this is a direct link to the video and not blog spam

Of course it does, but only one country has to keep commissioning and ignoring studies to work out a group of 300million people can get better prices for everything if the incentive for the government is to decrease the price rather than increase it for their buddies

Awesome write up. Finding these bugs in such a well used piece of software is like donating to humanity

I'm pretty sure it isn't.

I actually proposed a cooldown for apt-get in my PhD thesis in 2013 and calculated its impact. Because the meta-data for the Ubuntu apt repository can be completely downloaded you can simulate the impact of a cooldown on how many less packages would be installed and it isn't zero.

There are always people in a community running beta version, or up to date versions. There will be less with a cool down, but then depending on how critical your system is you could adjust cooldown length

I volunteer at a weekly event where we consistently have over 400 people show up, and every week it is a struggle to get 20 necessary volunteers to run it.

When you ask, you do get volunteers, but there are a few awesome people who volunteer every week and love it. The event would absolutely be impossible without them.

Thank you to every person who volunteers, especially if you do it without asking.

I have seen this as the GoTH stack, Go Templ Htmx. Add sqlc to that gor GoTHs or GHosT stack. Love this combo, once you buy into "go generate ./..." as a build step you get so much.

I also add goverter for converting between sqlc models and template objects and return values. Like 50% of the boilerplate is generated and it makes type safety so nice

I thought this would be a flutter post. Love flutter, ... , well I like flutter compared to Kotlin and Swift

I think people have read so much corporate PR posts they think that is a rule of how to post online.

This post is his personal blog, he is a human writing what he thinks.

If this was a tweet people would be fine with it, but it is a blog so he should make it corporate-y

Like Linus?

I don't think you are using that right. Saying someone is bringing a bad vibe to your project, as the point he has a bad vibe is just stating the conclusion.

Like if someone calls you a bad programmer and doesn't hire you as a programmer, isn't ad hominem

"This item is not available in your region" :(

"The question was never whether this would involve costs"

Brexit was sold as being positive for the economy. The proponents drove a bus around saying they would get 350 million back. It was largely advertised as a net positive for the economy

Would it be fair to say that because the US Navy is not running it as a for-profit power generation that would help. Like every accident seems to be a list of cost saving shortcuts being responsible

There must have been so much unseen behavior when there were millions more whales in the ocean. Here's hoping that we can see more

Some of these laws are like Gravity, inevitable things you can fight but will always exist e.g. increasing complexity. Some of them are laws that if you break people will yell at you or at least respect you less, e.g. leave it cleaner than when you found it.

HOMM3 on an iPad mini was peak iPad

If AI could reliably write good code then you shouldn't need to even commit the code as the general rule is you shouldn't commit generated code. Commit the session when you don't need to commit the code

I had an old MacMini I hadn't plugged in since 2014-ish and I tried to boot it this year and it refused to boot, and refused to update.

It now runs Ubuntu. Good little machine
